Who?

Who is crying? Who is hungry? Who is singing? In this lesson, you’ll learn how to ask and answer “who” and “which” questions in Thai, and how to say exactly who did something using เอง (“it was me who…”). Simple, repetitive examples with people, students, groups, cats and dogs help you practise personal pronouns, classifiers, and the polite particles ค่ะ and ครับ.
